  1. Re:I vote on Homer Simpson Named Greatest TV Character · · Score: 1

    It's pitiful that that's all I remember about that movie as well.

    I kind of feel this is obligatory :)

    I've heard they are more effective than a sword even.

  4. Re:Bad summary, and intentionally misleading cover on 3rd-Grader Busted For Jolly Rancher Possession · · Score: 1

    Kids should eat in an easy to clean area, they should be able to eat whatever the parents decide to send.

    As much as I want to agree with that, I also think children should eat healthy. There are a lot of negligent or (more likely) ignorant parents out there who are more than happy to pack some questionable highly-processed food like Lunchables thinking that it's good and healthy for their child.

  5. Re:Ahh, but... on 3rd-Grader Busted For Jolly Rancher Possession · · Score: 1

    This was my other concern with this... if they are banning candy, I sure as hell hope they are offering healthy food in their lines.

  6. Re:More "zero tolerance" idiocy on 3rd-Grader Busted For Jolly Rancher Possession · · Score: 1

    Then you're free to home-school your child and bypass the rules and regulations set up in public schools.

    The problem here are the parents that are far more negligent than you are and send their child to school with completely nutritionally devoid food, or with little or no money to purchase food.

    While I agree that such harsh steps shouldn't be taken, I strongly agree with the purpose of the initiative. Parents need to learn that a healthy attitude towards food is an invaluable thing that needs to be TAUGHT to their children. The school system can only do so much in keeping kids healthy. In the end, it IS your kid and you DO set the rules, but those rules are leading your kid to a life of obesity or diabetes, that's child abuse in my book.

  7. Re:Image size? on Vatican Chooses Open FITS Image Format · · Score: 1

    Noooo, a wikipedia link, I don't want to learn anything today! *opens page*

  8. Re:Image size? on Vatican Chooses Open FITS Image Format · · Score: 1

    You've got to get a high enough resolution to see all the cryptological details on every single page... didn't you ever see The DaVinci Code or Angels and Demons? Come on.

  9. Re:A Mote in Gods Eye on Japan To Launch Solar Sail Spacecraft "Ikaros" · · Score: 1

    Man I hope not, those Moties were pretty terrifying.

    Fantastic book though, I should read that one again.

  10. Re:Think of the children on Ubisoft Says No More Game Manuals · · Score: 1

    Maybe we could flash a warning message on the screen before the program loads?

    Friends of a friend rather... not trying to set up a *counts on fingers* five-way here.

    How about friends with a friend... and you wanna go to a ball game some time? :)

    ...and could take three girls to a nice restaraunt for a dollar.

    Yeah, but how much did the meal cost?

  14. Re:Commerce and Hacking... on 25th Anniversary of Hackers · · Score: 1

    So instead of staying up late on the computer programming, you stay up late on the computer pretending to be in those videos you always watch?

  15. Re:Cool Tech..but on How To Build a Winscape · · Score: 1

    But you didn't see the baby doing any soldering did you? That's what I thought.

  16. Re:County Fair on Girl Claims Price Scanner Gave Her Tourette's Syndrome · · Score: 1

    Gotcha, that makes more sense. So they just cover her in a blanket whenever she's outside so all that light doesn't burn her skin off then. Glad fluorescent lights don't affect her.

  17. County Fair on Girl Claims Price Scanner Gave Her Tourette's Syndrome · · Score: 1

    So the girl was sensitive to light? Why was she outside IN THE SUN at a county fair. Or even worse if it was at night, LEDs are friggin everywhere when it's dark out.

    It's surprising she didn't spontaneously combust.

    Thank you for your thoughtful contribution to this topic.

  19. Re:The grey race on Genetic Disorder Removes Racial Bias and Social Fear · · Score: 1

    It's not about breeding into uniformity. It's about not looking down upon someone who is different from you.

    DOCTOR horrible?

  21. Re:idiots on Foursquare Turns Down $100M · · Score: 1

    This guy doesn't need money, he sold Dodgeball to Google for zillions of dollars. Maybe he's just out to make a product he enjoys.

    I don't think Yahoo has any friends.

  23. Re:Solve them? on Can a Video Game Solve Hunger, Disease and Poverty? · · Score: 1

    Video game designers have a hard enough time creating hunger, disease, and poverty.

    I dunno, whenever I play WoW for days at a time, I tend to end up hungry, filthy and (at least intellectually and emotionally) broke.

  24. Re:Trade with other players? on New WoW Patch Brings Cross-Server Instances · · Score: 1

    Oh? I was just going off the patch notes, I don't have any experience with it yet. I must have read them wrong then.

  25. Re:Trade with other players? on New WoW Patch Brings Cross-Server Instances · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can only trade items that you picked up INSIDE the cross-realm instances. Other items cannot be traded.
